It's a lovely hotel and the staff are amazing, however two of the pillows stank of "old person" so much that it made the entire room hum, the cutlery delivered with room service was a bit dirty, and the bathroom grout was a bit "tired".

While the building is beautiful, it has seen better days- I...

We had a two night weekend stay at this lovely hotel, which also allowed us to take our two little dogs with us. The dogs were only allowed in the Morse bar where they got lots of attention from other guests. The staff throughout the hotel are superb, nothing was too much trouble, always offering to provide water for the...
